I would say that the one word that can be used to describe successful people is ‘Persistence.’
The road to success is filled with many obstacles, challenges and detours. You must be persistent if you want to be able to get through those challenges. Your mindset has to remain positive and optimistic, especially while you are going through the difficult times.
As I tell anyone coming into any new opportunities, the first year will be the most difficult. Everyone is starting from Ground Zero with determination and high expectations. Everyone learns that hopes, visions and dreams are important, but it takes more than that. There will even come to a point where you have crossroad moments. You will question yourself, “Do I really have what it takes or should I just throw in the towel?” This will be a turning point in your life. You have to decide that no matter what, you are committed to having success. You have to BE PERSISTENT.
Persistence is when you dig deep within yourself to remember why you started in the first place. This is why it’s important to constantly look at why you began this journey of success. Perhaps it was to earn top income, live a better life, or to simply have more freedom. You will never achieve any of these things if you decide to give up. All successful people have faced some very difficult times, but they continued marching forward because they were looking at the big picture. Their long-term success meant much more to them than the short term challenges.
When it comes to success, talent alone is not enough. Hard work will beat talent every single time. Every successful person will tell you that they achieved their goals because of their persistence and hard work. All of them had to overcome a lot of challenges on their journey. Remember that there are no shortcuts to success. You must commit to the cause and you must be persistent.
Along with being persistent, you must also have patience. It’s important to keep working towards your goals, but you must understand that accomplishing the big goals will take time. When you are writing out your big goals, break them down into small daily and weekly goals. This will allow you to see progress as you are working towards your big dreams.
Successful people ignore the instant gratification, and they understand that success is a long-term effort. You have to build those efforts over time which will allow you to accomplish your big goal. Remember that this is a marathon, not a sprint.
When looking at high level performers, most people think they are just lucky and gifted. The truth is we don’t see behind the scenes, what they went through to get to where they are at today. Nobody was born a Champion. They worked hard at it. They spent hours, days, weeks, months and years to get it right. They made many mistakes and failed, but they learned from all of those mistakes and improved. Success is a journey. You must be committed to your dreams and, no matter what, never give up. Be relentless and be persistent.
There will be some days where you feel like you’re making great progress. There will be some days where you feel like you have not accomplished anything. Keep positive and keep moving.
Your consistency will help you to build momentum. Success will come.
Always remember that you were designed to do great things. Never settle for mediocrity. Never listen to the naysayers. Believe in yourself and your opportunities. Your dream is real and it’s time for you to go out and make it happen. It takes a lot of determination, a lot of hard work and consistency. Start today and no matter what, BE PERSISTENT!
